Do Prolia injections affect the kidneys?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Nov 14, 2023 | Replies (85)Comment receiving replies
Prior to my first Prolia injection my D was 9....This has been an ongoing problem for me....I take the prescribed megadoses followed by maintenance recommendations.....I had a surgical menopause at age 29.... My osteoporosis is severe. My rheumatologist plans to recheck my PTH and GFR in a few weeks....He says not to worry...I was the one who had to bring his attention to the significant decrease in the glomerular filtration rate...I have not been to an endocrinologist yet, but pending my recheck, I will request a referral....I have no idea how long my PTH has been elevated; I know only for the last year and a half by virtue of testing.....NOTHING in my lifestyle has changed...I take an ACE INHIBITOR, plus my maintenance dose ov D3 and calcium petites.. I FEEL IT IS PROLIA....I will not sacrifice my kidneys....I am ambulatory and will continue to walk daily as always...I will post more when I have more facts...We all must remain healthy and informed...

Thank you for your post, I am not familiar at all with PTH and GER. I am on Generic Fosamax year 2 and like you I had a surgical menopause a bit older than you. I checked with two Orthopods and my GP before starting my " bone med" - plan on a bone scan after the Corona virus settles down for getting tests. Thanks again.

@trinity. The information in your post is far beyond my knowledge but I plan to research this to learn more and understand better. I just know that my DEXA numbers were in the osteoporosis range and my doctors - PCP and endocrinologist - both advise me to go on a medication. Both of them seem to favor Reclast.
